Laser Spine Institute acquires Aspen Back & Body

Published on October 22, 2009 at 3:58 AM · No Comments

After helping thousands of patients get their lives back through minimally invasive endoscopic spinal surgery at facilities in Tampa and Scottsdale and soon Philadelphia, the Laser Spine Institute (LSI) announces their acquisition of Aspen Back & Body, LLC (ABB), extending LSI's patient care capabilities into non-surgical areas for the first time.

Founded and led by visionary entrepreneur Clint Phillips, CSCS, ABB is a nationally branded destination provider of highly innovative therapies, blending spine fitness and wellness to prevent and relieve back and neck pain. Situated in the distinguished St. Regis Hotel in Aspen, Colo., ABB offers clients extraordinary one- to three-week "spine fitness" programs encompassing three to four hours a day of personalized therapy. All sessions are overseen by a Doctor of physical therapy with the goal of improving spine-related muscle strength, flexibility, alignment and general wellness. These programs include strength training, Gyrotonic flexibility sessions, vibration training, water therapy and Pilates, as well as education sessions, signature massage and healthy meals.

"With this acquisition, LSI can now provide patients a full range of highly effective, non-surgical treatments, complementary with existing surgical services," said LSI chief development officer Trey Traviesa.

"This will allow LSI to care for our patients across the cycle of spinal care whether patients seek maximum pre-surgical relief or continued support for post-surgical results," said LSI founder and chief surgeon Dr. James St. Louis.
